Owl Bag

I just love owls and have wanted to makean owl bag for a while.This is what I came up with first.

I used yoyos and buttons for the eyesand I had an antique plastic belt bucklethat I use for the beak. I attached itto the quilted head piece that madea flap for the bag.

I quilted the wings and used prairie pointsfor the chest feathers and made an outside pocket. I also quilted thepiece for the tail. It seemed to lookkinda fishy because of the prairiepoints and tail and it was longand narrow. The next one will beshorter and wider but I know whatto do now! But I still like it.

I love all needlework and try to do some stitching everyday. I also love to read and play my dulcimer.
